Rutes 1
1 Tanīs dienās, kad soģi valdīja, bija bads zemē. Un viens vīrs no Jūda Bētlemes nogāja piemist Moaba klajumos ar savu sievu un saviem diviem dēliem.
In the days of one of the judges, when the judges ruled, there came a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem Juda, went to sojourn in the land of Moab with his wife and his two sons.
2 Un tā vīra vārds bija Elimeleks un viņa sievas vārds Naēmja un viņa abu dēlu vārdi Mālons un Ķiljons, Efratieši no Jūda Bētlemes, un tie nāca Moaba klajumos un tur palika.
He was named Elimelech, and his wife, Noemi: and his two sons, the one Mahalon, and the other Chelion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Juda. And entering into the country of Moab, they abode there.
3 Un Elimeleks, Naēmjas vīrs, nomira, un viņa palika viena ar saviem diviem dēliem; tie sev ņēma Moabiešu sievas, - tās pirmās vārds bija Arpa un tās otras vārds Rute.
And Elimelech the husband of Noemi died: and she remained with her sons.
4 Un tie tur palika kādus desmit gadus.
And they took wives of the women of Moab, of which one was called Orpha, and the other Ruth. And they dwelt there ten years.
5 Tad arī šie abi, Mālons un Ķiljons, nomira, un tā sieva palika viena pēc saviem diviem dēliem un pēc sava vīra.
And they both died, to wit, Mahalon and Chelion: and the woman was left alone, having lost both her sons and her husband.
6 Un viņa cēlās ar savām vedeklām un griezās atpakaļ no Moaba klajumiem; jo tā bija dzirdējusi Moaba zemē, ka Tas Kungs savus ļaudis piemeklējis un viņiem maizi devis.
And she arose to go from the land of Moab to her own country with both her daughters in law: for she had heard that the Lord had looked upon his people, and had given them food.
7 Tāpēc viņa aizgāja no tās vietas, kur tā bija bijusi, un viņas abas vedeklas ar viņu. Un kad viņa pa ceļu gāja, pāriet uz Jūda zemi,
Wherefore she went forth out of the place of her sojournment, with both her daughters in law: and being now in the way to return into the land of Juda,
8 Tad Naēmja sacīja uz savām abām vedeklām: ejat, griežaties atpakaļ ikviena uz savas mātes namu; lai Tas Kungs žēlastību pie jums dara, itin kā jūs esat darījuši pie tiem aizgājušiem un pie manis.
She said to them: Go ye home to your mothers: the Lord deal mercifully with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me.
9 Lai Tas Kungs jums dod, ka jūs dusu atrodat, ikviena sava vīra namā. Un viņa tās skūpstīja. Tad tās pacēla savu balsi un raudāja.
May he grant you to find rest in the houses of the husbands which you shall take. And she kissed them. And they lifted up their voice and began to weep,
10 Un tās sacīja uz viņu: mēs gribam tev līdz iet pie taviem ļaudīm.
And to say: We will go on with thee to thy people.
11 Bet Naēmja sacīja: griežaties atpakaļ manas meitas, kāpēc jums man iet līdz? Vai tad man vēl dēli varētu būt manā klēpī, kas jums varētu būt par vīriem?
But she answered them: Return, my daughters: why come ye with me? have I any more sons in my womb, that you may hope for husbands of me?
12 Griežaties atpakaļ, manas meitas, ejat, jo es esmu par vecu, iet pie vīra. Kad es tā sacītu, man vēl ir cerība, un ja man šinī naktī vīrs gadītos, un es dēlus dzemdētu,
Return again, my daughters, and go your ways: for I am now spent with age, and not fit for wedlock. Although I might conceive this night, and bear children,
13 Vai tad jūs gaidītu, kamēr tie uzaugtu? Vai tad jūs ieslēgtos un pie vīra neietu? - Ne tā, manas meitas, man iet daudz grūtāki nekā jums, jo Tā Kunga roka pret mani izstiepusies.
If you would wait till they were grown up, and come to man’s estate, you would be old women before you marry. Do not so, my daughters, I beseech you: for I am grieved the more for your distress, and the hand of the Lord is gone out against me.
14 Tad tās pacēla savu balsi un raudāja atkal, un Arpa skūpstīja savu vīramāti, bet Rute palika pie viņas.
And they lifted up their voice, and began to weep again: Orpha kissed her mother in law and returned: Ruth stuck close to her mother in law.
15 Tad tā sacīja: redzi, tava vīra brāļa sieva griezusies atpakaļ pie saviem ļaudīm un pie sava dieva; griezies arī tu sava vīra brāļa sievai pakaļ.
And Noemi said to her: Behold thy kinswoman is returned to her people, and to her gods, go thou with her.
16 Bet Rute sacīja: nespied mani, tevi atstāt un no tevis aiziet; jo kurp tu iesi, arī es iešu, un kur tu mitīsi, tur arī es mitīšu; tavi ļaudis ir mani ļaudis, un tavs Dievs ir mans Dievs;
She answered: Be not against me, to desire that I should leave thee and depart: for whithersoever thou shalt go, I will go: and where thou shalt dwell, I also will dwell. Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.
17 Kur tu mirsi, tur es miršu, un tur gribu tapt aprakta; lai Tas Kungs man šā un tā dara, nāve vien mani un tevi šķirs.
The land that shall receive thee dying, in the same will I die: and there will I be buried. The Lord do so and so to me, and add more also, if aught but death part me and thee.
18 Kad nu viņa redzēja, ka šī bija stipri apņēmusies, viņai iet līdzi, tad viņa mitējās to pārrunāt.
Then Noemi, seeing that Ruth was steadfastly determined to go with her, would not be against it, nor persuade her any more to return to her friends:
19 Un abas gāja, kamēr nāca uz Bētlemi. Un notikās, kad viņas Bētlemē nonāca, tad visa pilsēta par tām sacēlās, un tās (sievas) sacīja: vai šī nav Naēmja?
So they went together and came to Bethlehem. And when they were come into the city, the report was quickly spread among all: and the women said: This is that Noemi.
20 Bet viņa uz tām sacīja: nesauciet mani par Naēmju (jauka), sauciet mani par Māru (rūgta), jo tas Visuvarenais man piesūtījis lielu sirds rūgtumu.
But she said to them: Call me not Noemi, (that is, beautiful, ) but call me Mara, (that is, bitter, ) for the Almighty hath quite filled me with bitterness.
21 Pilna es aizgāju, bet tukšai Tas Kungs man licis atpakaļ griezties; kāpēc jūs mani sauksiet Naēmju, kad tomēr Tas Kungs pret mani liecību devis, un tas Visuvarenais mani apbēdinājis?
I went out full, and the Lord hath brought me back empty. Why then do you call me Noemi, whom the Lord hath humbled and the Almighty hath afflicted?
22 Tā Naēmja griezās atpakaļ, un Rute, tā Moabiešu sieva, viņas vedekla, līdz ar viņu griezās atpakaļ no Moaba, un tās nāca uz Bētlemi ap miežu pļaujamo laiku.
So Noemi came with Ruth the Moabitess her daughter in law, from the land of her sojournment: and returned into Bethlehem, in the beginning of the barley harvest.
